One quick question.
There are three j-alphabets.

How many ideograms make up each one??
I'm arguing with some dumbasses on another forum and I'd like to wast'em all with inforamtion from some people who (unlike me) have some decent knowledge about japanese

Katakana: about 46 (http://members.aol.com/writejapan/katakana/kana.htm) doesn't list some archaic characters

Hiragana: about 48 (http://www.genki-online.com/kyozai/hiragana.html) doesn't list some archaic characters.

Kanji: about 2000 important characters, about 30,000 (or as many characters as exists in Chinese) total characters.

Thank you. That should end the discussion.
